Somebody may have said this already, but I will suggest: Nathan For You. Also, Silicon Valley is a fantastic show

Tokyo Vice on Cinemax.

https://m.imdb.com/title/tt2887954/

Foreign news reporter goes into the underbelly of 2000s Japan.

Didn’t expect it to be interesting, but it’s a lot of character studies and attitudes between Japanese and foreigners during that time period.

Created by the same guy who made Miami Vice.

Might be based on a true story ... there was a journo type who wrote a book based on his years on the "Yakuza beat" ... I will dig up the details later.
